Juliets are one of my favorite varieties for the garden. A sweet tasty grape tomato that is wonderful for picking and popping into your mouth. The ones in my Grow Boxes think that if they keep growing they will be Romas. They are so large that two of them cut into three slices covered an egg salad sandwich yesterday. Yum!!!
I can not believe the picture of the two Juliets side by side. If you are one of those people that need visual proof that one product is better than the other, the Grow Box is a superior product. Good organic fertilizer and a better medium for top quality production.
It does not mean that it is a perfect way to grow and this blog will be around to remind me of what needs "tweaking". I know that in my climate that we might have been a little overzealous about the squash. The next planting will be no more than three plants per box. It also means that I will grow my own transplants rather than using seeds.
The Topsy Turvy experiment is over and my husband is happily dismantling the darn thing. The plants have been laid to rest and I am sorry for any pain I caused them.
The fertilizer that the Garden Patch people use with their box is good for production and foliage. The foliage protects your fruit and vegetables (remember that tomatoes are fruits) and keeps the animals uninterested in your crop. That is the outside animals.
I sauteed two of the beautiful zucchini squashes last night with a small amount of butter and some garlic salt. The largest squash was almost 9 inches long and tender. My two Dachshunds, Jimmy and Beanie, were begging for a taste and I thought what difference would it make if I offered them a taste and the fight was on for the rest of that wonderful veggie.
Next time I cook squash, I will make sure there is enough for the four of us, my hisband, myself, Beanine and Jimmy.
